Steve,
I
believe the true A. hookeri occurs on Trinidad.
This is according to what the late Dr. Richard Howard told me when we were collecting
in Grenada

+More
together. He published the Flora of the Lesser Antilles.
The species we have in Grenada,
90 miles to the north, is A. wildenovii I believe, and I have never seen A.
hookeri growing here.
It
should not be difficult to obtain seeds and seedlings of A. hookeri in Trinidad
but the airline charges a ridiculous amount to get there from Grenada.
John.
